If 28, 000 did not work in 93-95, 17,000 is not going to make difference today. Only patriotic and true Somalis can make the difference.

Afxumo wax laguma xaliya - waa lasku xumeeya uun.

if you were brave enough to have done what that scotish guy on the video did live on the BBC broadcasting from pub - it would have been put on youtube that quickly - but knowing you - you are too afraid to be that brave

^^That is just text highlighted the important bit of the question, which was followed by a question re welcoming the somaliland president - to which cameroon replied - he would welcome him but "that this conference is not about recognising somaliland" but rather working with all the political groups and supporting the somalis among themselves to make their country stronger and safer .watch the video from 17.12.....

This is not Maaddey, this is an impostor. Either that or the real maaddey is doing a reconnaissance mission

The credulousness of the man is unbelievable for this story to resemble anything close to true story. It looks like something an atheist would come up with to make fun of believers.

^^Naga daa dee - miyaadan ogeyn mahmaahdii ahayd - "nin is faanshay waa ri' is nuugtay" Enough of the self-suckling. Masha'Allah and well done to the SL community and may it continue to prosper. P.s. The title of the article is "Somalia: Far from a failed state?
